Why we have chosen 6 news
Our news programme is called 6 news because it will be aired at 6 o'clock, we chose this time because after our research of our audience we found that most people were likely to watch the news at this time. People get home from work and turn on the news or have it on in the background while making dinner. We thought about doing a morning news programme like This Morning or Day Break but wanted to do more formal news. We also wanted a simple name that people could remember. The simple name allowed us to create an ideallogo fora news programme.

Recession - South Yorkshire
The recession has hit South Yorkshire just as much as the rest of the UK, if not more. An 'Evening Post' report into the matter has revealed that Barnsley and Doncaster are to be the towns with the slowest recovery due to the large unemployment rate and the low levels of qualified workforce. Also affecting the recovery the fact that these towns have a low level of business start up rates meaning the the process of recovery is going to be much slower. Building large new buildings for business is out of the question is these times of recession so areas such as Barnsley may need to resort to more basic approach to recovery such as a focus on education, adult learning and transportation. This would make the area more appealing to new or stable businesses.
Barnsley

- Barnsley is currently undergoing the building and development of 5 secondary schools and the college.

- The average income per household is £24,000, again significantly lower than the national average of £32,000.
